BECHTELSVILLE,
PA January 3, 2015 . . . In an effort to cut the expenses for NASCAR Late Model
and Sportsman racers at Grandview Speedway promoter Bruce Rogers has announced
the availability of GM604 and GM 602 crate engines.

The weight advantage for the crate
engine is 2375 pounds for the crate Sportsman while the standard Sportsman will
carry 2450 pounds. In the Late Models the crate Late Model will carry 2250
pounds compared to 2350 for the standard Late Model.

Making the crate engine even more
attractive is the fact that the engines are rebuildable by any engine builder
adhering to Grandview Speedway rules. There are several local engine builders
that can handle the rebuilds and then have track inspectors seal the motor.

The GM 604 is available new,
delivered the very next day, for $5675 from Fred Beans Parts. Telephone Dave
Whittinger at 877.385.5769.

The crate engine program came
together with the help of two engine inspectors, the Grandview track tech team
and head tech inspector Ed Scott. The engines ca be rebuilt for approximately
$2,000 to $2,500.

According to those involved in
planning the engines the two are very strong, durable and will be very
competitive.

With the torque the new crate
engines will develop Scott and his staff along with speedway management feel
they will be better on restarts and coming off the turns.

engine program will go a long way toward cutting the expenses,” said promoter
